Ajax chief Marc Overmars insists Louis van Gaal is the right manager for Manchester United.
Overmars believes reports of Van Gaal losing the United dressing room are wide of the mark and he will build a 'mighty' side at Old Trafford.
"It's crazy to criticise him so much already," the 42-year-old Ajax director of football told The Sun.
"In football you need patience.
"They are building a new team. Yes, they have spent a lot of money, but leave him to do his job.
"He has had difficult times before in his career, but always comes through.
"He will survive and build a very strong team."
